Fuel gauge not working

[ignis]

My fuel gauge hasn't been working in 4+ years on my 2002 Ford Explorer.
Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue. If so, what was the fix?

Thanks, but this article doesn't give me much more information to go off of. I've already previously dropped the tank and verified the sender unit is outputting the correct resistance values.

Hi!

I wrote that. Did you read the part how I determined where my fault was? Did you do a gauge sweep to see if your gauge or gauge brain is broken? Have you tried subbing a resistor or potentiometer to see if the gauge reads the values of the resistor / pot? Did you check the AC/DC inverter?

Lastly, I'd check all the connections, especially the external ones. If you have a damaged wire or connector, or a loose connector, its' not gonna work, and may not even trip an OBD code.

Good luck! (It's getting cold outside)
